None. There is almost no production of lactic acid in the muscle, pretty much all of it is in the form of lactate ions. They are not formed due to lack of oxygen, this is also a misconception, they are formed when the demand for ATP is too high to be met by phosphorilative oxidation, which produces more ATP per unit of glucose but does so at a slow rate.

∙ 13y agoLactic acid builds up in our muscles after doing aerobic respiration ( breathing without oxygen ) this is because muscle cells are used to working with oxygen and when you put your body through a workout or something that makes you out of breath , your muscle cells can't take in oxygen fast enough so they breath without air and as previously stated is aerobic respiration and the product of that is lactic acid (AKA that burning sensation) too much of this lactic acid and you develop Arthritis and rheumatism : the only way to relieve yourself of this lactic acid is to rest

∙ 16y agoSmall amounts of lactic acid are produced by fermentation of sugars in muscle tissue. The building up of large amounts of lactic acid in muscle leads to fatigue and can cause cramps.

∙ 12y agoYour muscles produce lactic acid when these is not enough oxygen, such strenuous exercise. When lactic acid builds up in muscle cells, muscles become fatigued and might feel sore.

What acid builds up in your body when you exercise too much?
lactid acid build up occurs when muscles do not get enough oxygen
How does massage help the human body?
Massage relieves tension in the body's muscles, removing lactic acids which can age and become toxins, causing temporary nerve damage if not relieved. People who work their muscles constantly often say they have very stressed muscles, this is because the pain receptors are picking up on the lactic acid, and tension builds inside of them.
What muscles are overworked soreness is caused by a buildup of what?
when soreness occurs, it is because of a build-up of lactic acids.
What happens to the rate of breathing during vigorous exercise and why?
The breathing rate increases therefore the depth of breathing increases. During a vigorous exercise we undergo anaerobic respiration in muscles when there is not enough oxygen reaching to the cells to convert glucose into water and carbon dioxide (the products of anaerobic respiration with the presence of oxygen). During anaerobic respiration, glucose is only partially broken down into lactic acids and a relatively small amount of energy. Accumulation of lactic acids in the muscles causes pain and discomfort and may lead to muscle fatigue which is when the muscles are not able to contract properly. The muscles must rest and recover. Accumulation of high levels of lactic acids in muscles is toxic and must be removed. During the rest period, lactic acid is removed by the circulatory system to the liver. In the liver, lactic acid is oxidized to produce energy. This energy is used to convert the remaining lactic acids into glucose and eventually glycogen to be stored in the liver. This only happens after the period of anaerobic exercise has ended. The amount of extra oxygen that the body takes in after an exercise to convert the lactic acids into glucose is called the oxygen debt. This explains why we continue to breathe heavily,deeply and quickly after exercising. Hope this helps! -AA
What causes a painful burning sensation in muscles after vigorous exercise?
torn muscle tissue
Why can you squeeze a clothespin more times in 1 minute if you exercise first?
Well if you exercise first then your flushing out the lactic acids in your muscles which reduce muscle fatigue
What is natural acids?
the natural acids are acids which are not much toxic . they are naturally available like lactic acid
What is the chemical that causes pain?
I think it might be Lactic acids
What is the end product of fermentation in animals?
It produces Lactic Acids, ethanol, hydrogen gas, Sugar, Carbon Dioxide.
What is natural acid?
the natural acids are acids which are not much toxic . they are naturally available like lactic acid
Does protein become amino acids?
Through lactic acid fermentation.
What is the type of acid that builds proteins?
Amino Acids
